Altman and Ive Collaborate on Revolutionary AI Device

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and legendary former Apple design chief Jony Ive are working together on a new AI-powered device. Ive confirmed his involvement in an interview with The New York Times.

⭐️ What Do We Know So Far?

The project aims to develop a revolutionary device that fully integrates AI into daily life, reshaping how we interact with technology. 

The gadget is expected to introduce a new type of interface that's more intuitive and natural than current smartphones. The AI assistant will automate everyday tasks, from bookings to scheduling.

A team of 10 developers, including former key Apple engineers Tangg Tan and Evans Hankey, is leading the project's development.

🚩 Funding

The project has the backing of Laurene Powell Jobs, widow of Steve Jobs, through her investment firm Emerson Collective. Potential investors like SoftBank and Thrive Capital, which has been heavily involved in funding OpenAI, are also considering joining the venture. Discussions are ongoing about raising $1 billion in funding.

🗓 When to Expect It?

The project is still in early development, with no confirmed release date yet.

Think Altman and Ive can build the smartphone of the future?

❤️ — Yes!
😁 — Nah, I'm holding out for the iPhone 17
